Dayton picks up more union support
Democrat Mark Dayton's campaign for governor announced today that the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen are backing his campaign for governor.
"I recognize the commitment that you have made to improve the lives and protect the jobs of all workers and their families," Minnesota State Legislative Board Chair David Brown reportedly told Dayton (via the Dayton release). "You have established a distinguished record of voting for the improvement and rebuilding of Minnesota's infrastructure of railroads, roads and bridges."
The support of the BLET adds to other important endorsements for the Dayton campaign, including the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association, the United Steelworkers, Teamsters Joint Council 32 and AFSCME Council 5.
